Pentek EP-20BB Video Transcript

Hey everyone, Aquaman here with FilterDoctor.com. Today we’re looking at the Pentek EP-20BB. This is an industry standard size cartridge approximately 20 inches long by 4 ½ inches in diameter, which means it’s going to fit into many standard whole house filter housings. One of the most common is the Pentek 20BB, often known as the Big Blue. Now the EP-20BB is a 5 micron carbon block that’s manufactured out of 100% FDA approved materials. The Pentek internal testing has certified this cartridge for chlorine reduction up to 40,000 gallons. That’s a big number, that’s a lot of chlorine. Now in order to keep this carbon block from getting clogged with sediment before it’s actually exhausted, they’ve wrapped the entire cartridge in this white outer stuff they call Endurawrap. It’s just a polyolefin bi-laminate that captures sediment and doesn’t allow it to get imbedded in the carbon block, thus reducing the true life of the carbon. Again, this is the Pentek EP-20BB, and I’m your host Aquaman with FilterDoctor.com. Thanks for watching.
